If you are shopping for a new mattress, but are unsure of what to look for, keep reading our guide to finding the perfect mattress for you.

Your Sleep Position

Your sleep position is the best place to start. Did you know your sleep position will help you decide the best type of mattress for you? You may already have a preferred mattress type, but it’s important to consider the way you sleep every night before making a firm decision. You'll want to choose a mattress type that will conform to your sleep position to ensure you stay comfortable and supported all night long.

Type of Mattress

With many to choose from, picking the right style can help you narrow your options. What kind of mattress person are you?

• Memory Foam
  • Memory foam conforms to your body by the use of your body heat, remembering your perfect shape all night long.
• Pillow Top
  • A pillow top mattress has an additional layer of padding extending above the mattress to keep you comfortable all night long.
• Gel
  • A gel mattress is essentially a memory foam mattress infused with gel. The infusion is done to keep you calm and cool throughout the night.
• Air bed
  • Air beds allow you to change your mattress to find your perfect sweet spot. Whether you prefer a soft or firm mattress, an airbed can give you just what you need.
• Innerspring
  • An innerspring mattress has springs at its center that support the weight of the body, providing comfort all night.
• Waterbed (p.s. Afloat is the best)
  • Need we say more? The water within the mattress moves with you, providing contoured support as you sleep peacefully each night. 

We've all had a mattress before. You likely have a go-to mattress type that will get you well on your way to your new dream bed. Don’t forget to consider your favorite sleeping position when choosing your mattress type.

Size of Mattress

Size of mattress? What a great question! The size of your mattress is important. Do you sleep in your bed alone or with someone? If you share your bed, you're likely going to want a queen or a king. Choose the size that best suits you and your partner.

If you sleep alone, the size is all you. Do you want a twin, or do you want to go all in and get a king? It's your mattress, and your sleep quality, you decide!

Budget

Your budget plays a big role in the purchasing decision of your mattress. Decide how much you can and are willing to spend on your mattress, then do some shopping to see what mattress options fit that criteria. Setting a budget will get you well on your way to perfect sleep with a new mattress that sends you right to dreamland.

Don't lay awake at night because your mattress isn't cutting it. Consider your favorite type of mattress and the way you sleep each night, and you will be set and ready to go mattress shopping. Follow our guide of the simple steps to finding your perfect mattress and you'll be saying "hello dreams" every night when you lay on your new, perfect mattress.
